The Alpha's Mate

Chapter 1

Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

I squint my eyes open. "What the-" I say as I open my eyes wider. "Ahhh! The light!!" I yell shutting my eyes. The light dims and I slowly open my eyes once more. I turn and see a man sitting in the chair by my bed. I look down and I see a hospital gown. I look back up and see a doctor. "Water?" He asks. I eagerly nod my head. I nurse on the water and set it back down. "What happened?" I ask. "Oh, well Alpha found you and brought you here because you passed out." The doctor says. "Where am I?" I ask. "New Moon pack." He answers. My eyes bulge. The Alpha of New Moon pack is the toughest Alpha in North America. Not to mention he's the most blood thirsty. I slowly lift my finger and point at the man in the chair. "Is he the Alpha?" I whisper. The doctor nods. Suddenly,  smell the most amazing scent just like chocolate.

'Mate.' Harper growls.

'Mate?!?!? The Alpha of the New Moon pack is our MATE?!?!?!' I yell.

'Alpha Tyler Jones is his name. No need to be rude, Claire.' She growls

I roll my eyes. All of a sudden, an Earth shaking growl interrupts my conversation. I turn towards Alpha Jones. "Hi?" I say. He stares at me. "Mine." He growls. "Are you okay? What's your name? Why were you running?" He rushes. I roll my eyes. "I'm fine. My name is Claire Brooks. I was running because some guy was chasing me." I say. His eyes turn black. "Anyways, what's your name and why were you in the woods?" I ask. "My name is Alpha Tyler Jones. You can call me Tyler, love." He says with a wink. I blush and turn away. "I was in the woods because I smelt your scent." He says. "Oh." I reply. 

'Oh!?!? OH?!?!? THAT'S ALL YOU CAN SAY TO YOUR MATE?!?!? A MAN WHO JUST SAVED YOU FROM PROBABLY DYING?!??! Oh my God, girl. There's no hope for you.' Harper says.

I roll my eyes at Harper and look at Tyler. "Well, my parents and the boys are probably worried. Have a phone?" I ask. Tyler nods and hands me his cell phone. "I have a death wish. I already had 9 boys breathing down my neck." I mutter. I quickly dial my parents' number.

"Hello." My mother says.

"Hey, Ma." I say.

"CLAIRE ELIZABETH BROOKS WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!?!?" My mother screams. I pull the phone from my ears and shake my head.

"Ma, I found my mate. I'm with him." I say.

"Oh, really? I thought you weren't gonna find him with all of the boys and all. What is his name?" My mother asks.

"Alpha Tyler Jones...." I say looking at Tyler. He smirks. I look away.

"Oh. The boys wanna talk to you. I'm putting you on speaker." She replies.

"Okay." I say.

"CLAIRE!!" My brothers scream. I pull the phone away and cover my ears. "Yeah there's no way in hell I am putting that thing on my ear again." I say putting it on speaker.

"Jesus Christ! Mind not bursting my ear drums, boys?" I say. I hear 2 or 3 apologies. I shrug. 

"So, Claire, where the hell are you?" My oldest brother Mason says. Ty growls at Mason. I send him a glare. Well, since we're gonna be here a while, I'll tell you all of my siblings names and ages. 

Mason is the oldest. He is 21. He does have a mate and they're married.

Next is James. He is 20 and is engaged to his mate.

Then Eli. He is 19 and has a girlfriend.

Alex is 18 and doesn't have his mate yet. I thought his mate was a video game controller.

Then me, Claire I am 17.

After me are Lucas and Logan who are twins and 16 years old.

After them is Dylan who is 15.

And finally, Hunter who is 14. He is the baby of the family, but since I'm the only girl, I am babied.

Anyways, I answer with a "Hold on!" and look outside. It is daytime. 

"To answer your question, Mason I am at my mate's house at the moment." I say. 

"Who is your mate?" Eli asks.

"Geeze, guys! Stop being so over protective. His name is Alpha Tyler Jones. Now shush." I say. "Ty, what is today?" I ask. "March 12th, why?" He says. "So I was here over night." I mutter. 

'No wonder the fam is worrying.' Harper says. I roll my eyes.

"So, guys. I called to say that I am okay. Now stop that over protective shit." I say sternly. I hear a couple 'okay's' and I smile.

"I love you guys. See you soon." I say.

"I LOVE YOU TOO." All of them seem to say. Maybe not Hunter. He's been a lot more hormonal lately.

I roll my eyes and hang up. I look back up at Ty and hand him my phone."Holy shit that was a lot of people. How many was that?" Ty asks. "Well, Ty. That was the voices of 8 overprotective brothers and probably my parents." I say. Ty's jaw drops. "Holy shit." He mutters. "Wanna know their names?" I ask. He nods. "Well there's Mason. He's 21. Then James, 20, Eli, 19, Alex, 18, then there's me after Alex, Lucas and Logan, 16, Dylan, 15, and finally my baby brother Hunter who is 14." I say smiling. Ty laughs. I roll my eyes and prop my back up on a pillow. 

"Wanna play 20 questions?" Ty asks. "Sure." I say. "Okay, what is your worst fear?" Ty asks. "Umm . . . Sharks. I have galeophobia big time." I say. "Ummm . . . What is your middle name?" I ask. "Jay." Tyler says. "Tyler Jay Jones." I say testing it out. I giggle. "How old are you?" He asks. "I'm 17 turning 18 in November." I say. "Hmm . . ." He replies. "What is your favorite color?" I ask. "Seven." He replies flashing his pearly white teeth. "7? That is not a color." I say. "Yeah, it is. In my book anyways." Ty says. I giggle. We play 20 questions until the doctor comes back in.

"Well, Claire. You seem to have a mild concussion and some minor scrapes. You should be fine to leave, just clean that gash on your head." The doctor says. I nod making myself a bit dizzy, but don't tell Tyler I said that. The doctor leaves and Tyler looks at me. 

"You know you're not leaving the pack house, right?" He asks. I scoff. "Of course! I know how this works." I say. Honestly, I've known him for at least an hour and let me say he can be a bit annoying and cocky. 

'Don't think that, Claire. He's our mate. He's just checking.' Harper says. I roll my eyes.

"So, Tyler. Can we get out, I hate hospitals with a burning passion." I say. Tyler laughs. "Sure." He replies. I sit up and reach for the clothes that had been placed at the foot of the bed I hadn't noticed. I hop up and take the clothes towards the bathroom, big hospital room, I know. I quickly get changed into one of Tyler's Nirvana T-shirts and a pair of his boxers. I exit the bathroom and grab my clothes from yesterday. I pull myself together and tell Tyler I'm ready. We walk up at least 2 flights of stares until we come to a room.

"This is our room." Tyler says. Our room?!?! You know what? I'm not going to argue. I nod my head and step inside. "Tyler, I'm tired. I'm going to bed."I tell him. He nods his head in agreement. I sigh and set my stuff down. I sit on the fluffy bed and breathe in his chocolatey scent. I smile and lay myself down. 

"Goodnight, Ty." I say.

"Goodnight, Kitten."
